That's Entertainment

December 9, 1985

ON THANKSGIVING Eve we once again had the pleasure of seeing that wonderful movie Miracle On 34th Street. Produced more than 38 years ago, this movie continues to delight old and young viewers each year during the Christmas season.

The popularity of this film grows each year. Why is this so? No one was murdered. There was no sexual connotation or salty language. No one was raped. It is a wholesome story with a moral. The actors spoke articulately without the annoying background music in today's films.

If this film can last for more than 38 years and grow in popularity, why don't movie moguls give us what we want instead of the R- and X-rated trash they have foisted on us for two decades? We can't think of a film of the last few years that will bring this kind of enjoyment and endure for 38 years.
